Meatball cake
Description
I want to share with you a rather unexpected version of a savory cake. The combination of minced meat and rice is so familiar to everyone, yet served this way, it's nothing like traditional meatballs. And the delicious creamy topping over the layers… simply finger-licking good! If you enjoy original dishes, be sure to remember this recipe and try it in your own kitchen.

2. First, pass the meat, onion, and garlic through a meat grinder. Add chopped herbs, salt, spices, and a little water if desired, to the minced mixture. Mix thoroughly. Shape into 3 flat patties (it's convenient to level the mixture using a plate). Place them on an oiled baking sheet and put in the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes at 200 degrees until cooked through.

3. Cook the rice in salted water. In a frying pan with heated oil, sauté the grated carrots. Add the rice and a pinch of spices to taste. Sauté for a few minutes, stirring.

4. Assemble the cake: place the meat patty on the bottom of the serving plate. Spread half of the rice on top, pressing it down firmly. Then add another meat patty, the remaining rice, and finally the last portion of meat.

5. To cover this cake, prepare the cream. In a deep bowl, combine eggs with salt, starch, and sour cream. Beat until smooth, then add lemon juice. Bring the broth to a boil. Pour a little of the hot broth into the egg mixture and quickly stir, then pour everything back into the broth. Stir thoroughly until a smooth, homogeneous cream forms.
